Mother RGSs.

There are some very amusing stO-
ries told about Mrs Christian Davies,
commonly called "Mother Ross" and
who served as IL foot soldier and
dragoon in several campaigns under
King William, and the Duke of Marl-
borough. While in Flanders she
gained the affection of burgher' =
daughter, about whom she fought a
duel with a sergeant Of her regiment.
For so doing she WAS imprisoned. but
through the father Of the young lady
she obtained her release. The only
way she could escape from this love
affair, which. on the part of the girl
Was serious, was by declaring
that she would not marry one
so attractive until by braver,
she obtained a higher commission.
Upon another occasion she was
charged with being the father of a
child, and ,ather than expose the gay
mothers perjury, she submitted to
the scandal and betrayed the ex-
penses OF the infant, who only lived
out month. Subsequently, ard
when her sex having been discovered
she had resumed female apparel, she
ent red u, o race with Captain
Montgomery. At its close, when she
saw that he was sure to win, she made,
to u C her own words, 4 furious push
at him, flung man and horse into Il
ditch, and thus won the race" Some
tinies, and soldiei-like, this Amazon
drank too treely, but with that excep-
ton was above reproach. while her
devotion to her husband in his old
age proved that she was as kind as she
was courageous.

Thanksgiving Day

Is principally a woman's holiday. 1t
is set apart for the enjoyment OF one
sex as we'll as another, but so quiet is
the character OF its recreations, and
so distinct is i s domestic tendencies,
that without the good cheer which
women alone can give to it it would
be very sombre affair. The Fourth
of July, with its drums and trumpets,
flags and its orations, belongs more
exclusively to men; while C ildren
seem to have the wholesale proprie-
torship of Christmas. Besides, Mrs
Sarah j. Hale, who for so many years
edited Godey's Lady's Book, and who,
upon coming to reside in Phlladel-
phia, was panied by the lack OF pub
lrc sentiment respecting this day Of
thanksgiving, did much to arouse
throughout the Middle States the de-
gree of enthusiasm common to New
England. Then, too, Thanksgiving
Day is dull or h.p,y in proportion to
the interest, or the want OF interest,
which the hous ~ lie takes IN the din
ner, while the spirit with which she
presides over it increases or dimin-
i.hes the flavor OF the smoking turkey
and the prescribed accomplishments
Of celery, cranberry and mince- pie.

there is q tendency to tight lacing. In
recent attack upon The Fashion
Plate, Kate Upson Clark says: "I.et
me protest in the name Of 10000 900
suffering women against the incen-
tives to tight lac,ng supplied in the
ridiculous figures Of the fashion
plates" Possibly she is right, for as
all women are about to have new
dresses made from one of the most re-
cent magazines, with an interest akin
to that with which a puzzled physi-
clan pours over his medical books,
they are likely to take their impress
sion OF good looks, aj well as their
styles, from these autocrats Of fash
ion. Yet. why woman will will
lingiy put herself into a vice, winch
is not only uncomfortable hut painful,
and which all common-sense people
| must admit is extremely injurious to
| her and to the children who come
after her is mystery. Besides, tight
lacing is not in accordance with any
given law of beauty, US the ample
waists cf the Grecian statues, which
serve as models for al succeed ng ar
lists. clearly illustrates. Then, too, 1t
| is impossible for woman whose lungs
are cramped into q DIR IS murh too
small for her. to move easily or to act
naturally. Yet, SO fascinating is this
species Of style ami discomfort to the
many women who affect it, that TO
reason with or change them Is out OF
the question. Indeed, the tighter Il
woman lares the more earnestly she
protests that she does not lace ut all,
and that her waist is really as small
as it looks. "See,'' is her favorite ar
gument, II could readily bear my
dress much tighter" And us she
momcntarily ceases to breathe and at
the same time draws herself up like Il
snail, she endeavors to convince by
ocular demonstration that between
her and her gown there is considcra-
BILE space. But OF course no one IS
ever deceived, unless she is herself
sophisti,'al enough to believe in so
palpe BILE delusion.

Mrs. Calista Miller, the New York
modijte, who has frequently been
styled ".The American Worth" has q
record as remarkable as it is encour-
aging. After a girlhood and long
married life OF perfect ease and de-
pendence, she was, by the serious i'll
ness OF her husband, suddenly thrown
upon'i her own resources. At the time
she had two children, a son and a
daughter, who were too young and in
